The Pop of Today Vs Pop Of Yesterday

Two victims now.

I should start collecting commission from Kevin Parker.

Now I've got to work on Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear with you two, though those might be a harder sell.

To me it just seems that nothing is what it once was. No matter what genre of music you are into. Pop, hip hop, heavy metal, rap. None of it is the same as it once was

That's a good thing! Music would get boring if it didn't keep evolving.

I don't think it'll be too hard. Got a specific song/album recommendation?

I've already got several AnCo and Grizzly Bear songs linked in pages ~10-13. Go through those, but here's some more highlights.

I've already shown you the AnCo song "Guy's Eyes." That's a good start.

Be sure to view this in full screen mode.

Same song, different video. Again, try it on full-screen mode. Trippy stuff, especially if you've got a large monitor!

Helps to appreciate the song I think.

Some of their earlier stuff featured a lot of acoustic pieces. Kinda weird, but in an amusing and interesting way. If you don't like weird stuff, this probably isn't for you. But very creative I think!

Onto Grizzly Bear, this was the first song that caught my attention. Even my 70-something y.o. mother thought this was an interesting song.

I find this song to be exceptionally well-written. Great transitions between the soft and loud parts.

There's an Animal Collective thread in the "Avant Garde & Experimental" section and a while ago I started a Grizzly Bear thread in the "Indie & Alternative" section. Lots more stuff there.

Here's another one I like. Weird words but really great tune.

Thanks, DriveYourCarDownToTheSea (do you mind if I just call you Drive? - it makes typing easier). I enjoyed all of those and will definitely explore both bands further.

I first heard SMiLE (various versions) when I was four years old, so the weirdness doesn't really bother me. I'm used to it.

Yes you can just call me Drive. By now I think most people already do.

In further explorations, you might want to listen to all of Merriweather Post Pavillion. It is the Pet Sounds of the 21st Century IMO.

That is enough to make me listen any album. Will check it out.
